Karishma Kapoor recreates vintage Nirma ad featuring Dipika Chikhlia

On Saturday, Karisma Kapoor stepped back in time by at least 30 years when she starred in an ad that was a replica of a legendary TV commercial from the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Fans expressed their delight after seeing the ad on social media, claiming it sent them on a nostalgic journey.
